Eco Fashion World

We covet Ruth Cross knitwear! Owner Ruth Bridgeman combines pure, original design with traditional hand knitting techniques to create unique but oh-so-wearable garments and accessories to keep us warm and stylish throughout the winter. Her hand-crafted creations haven’t failed to attract the attention of stylists worldwide and one-of-a-kind pieces have already been featured in editorial spreads of edgy glossies such as Another Magazine or Architectural Digest. Each piece is hand-made from knitting to finishing, using British knitters and the finest lambs-wool from Scotland (the company is committed to supporting British industry and small businesses where possible). This process takes about a month from beginning to end per garment, which results in only a limited number of each style ever being produced.

Very soon, you’ll be able to shop the collection in a brand new concept store. On November 1st 2008 L'Usine will be opening at 73 New Street, Salisbury. In addition to stocking their own knitwear, owner Ruth Bridgeman has selected a group of complementary designers who are among the best in their fields. The majority are UK based and make work in the areas of Fashion, Accessories, Jewellery, Ceramics, Painting, Tableware and Homeware. The boutique will also be carrying sexy intimates and dresses by ethical favorite Enamore.

The space itself is also worth the detour: 73 New Street is grade 2 listed and the boutique layout follows the rooms almost as a house; gallery style entrance room, dressing room and even a kitchen.
